Hit the Ground Running!
For some reason, I really thought that this week would be pretty slow; Even with the summer term having entered it's second week and a new work schedule to adjust to. I really couldn't have been much farther off.
When I got home from RMFC, I was pretty surprised to find two more freelance jobs waiting for me. One guy needed a website redesign for his production company and another needed some design work for an envelope for a baptist megachurch in Atlanta, GA. The website was a $200 dollar job and I was able to knock it out fairly quickly. This envelope thing however is going to take more of my time. The payment will be worth it however so I'm not complaining in the least.
School is also pretty fast-forward. Thank YOU condensed summer term! I have three large assignments to be completed by mid-week next week. I have a pretty good handle on all three so I'm not too worried. Time isn't my friend tho so I'll have to work to get it all done in time to the quality I expect from myself.
On top of that, I'm going to try and knock the Albu-FUR-Que website out by Monday. I've been meaning to do it for a while now but things kept getting in the way.
carol_kitty is giving me free reign on it though which is great! I have a whole slew of ideas I am just dieing to use ^^ Thanks Carol. It'll look nice.
In other new, the creative director for a multinational design firm founded in Albuquerque called The Tangerine Cafe visited our school a few days ago and met with the head of Advertising Arts. I found out after the fact that she really praised the Plushpod brochure that I created as my design final last year. It did make gallery which is an honor in and of itself... but to gain recognition from someone that high in the industry is really humbling. I guess I'm on the right track! I only wish I were there to meet her.
To-Do List
1) FGBC Remittance Envelope 2) K2 Snowboards 4-color Magazine Ad 3) NW Coniferous Federation Website 4) Sonic The Hedgehog vector Illustration 4) Albu-FUR-Que Website (It's about time!) 5) A slew of gift con badges 6) sleep
